An Internet Business – Ed Dale style

14 April 2008 Nez 0 Comments

edmap An Internet Business Ed Dale styleI had already written this post once before I realised I’d made an error. Above you’ll see the photo Ed posted of his diagram for running an internet based business. I love it! It’s the way I plan everything. I also mind map constantly, so paper and I are very close. Like Ed, I’m addicted to technology, but I always rely on good old faithful paper and pen to get my ideas down and to brainstorm. The link to Ed’s original post is at the end of this article.

Ed also mentions the book, Back of the Napkin, and introduces us to the concept of visual thinking. He also talks of other big names in the biz like John Reese, Frank Kern and Gary Halbert, and they all use a pad and paper to brainstorm. I know that for many people the concept won’t be new, but to hear Ed’s take on how he approaches things, and the way he maps out things is pretty cool. Now, the above picture gives you an idea of where Ed is coming from, but only an idea. I had rushed on to write a post explaining all of the cool points about the video Ed made. I even did a few screenshots of bits I really liked.

However I had watched this video as a member of the Immediate Edge . Ed had actually created seven pages, which he then (using Screenflow) had gone on to explain in great detail. It was brilliant! But I can’t publish a review like this if most of the people reading it haven’t seen the video. So I’m an idiot.

If you want to see the video for yourself you’ll have to obviously join up. A word of warning though, the Immediate Edge is like trying to drink from a waterfall. There is tons of great content there (including Ed’s video and a brand new service which just blows me away), but nobody is going to hold your hand. It’s not for beginners either. If all of this is brand new, just stick with the Thrity Day Challenge for now. If however, you feel ready, then maybe try out the Immediate Edge and see what you think.

UPDATE: Ed has just released the video to the general public. I still recommend the Immediate Edge, but you can now watch the video I was raving about for free. Check it out here: The Video

One More Sleep!

Bright and early tomorrow morning I’m jumping on a plane and heading down to Melbourne to see Ed Dale and Frank Kern at a conference. I’m pretty damn excited about it for a few reasons. Rather than drown everyone in hyperbole and effusive language, I’ll just list out my reasons instead.

  1. I get to see Ed and Frank on stage again. These guys are funny and they REALLY know their stuff!
  2. I get to see John Carlton for the first time. He’s a god of the copywriting world and I need all the help I can get.
  3. I basically get to go for free. I was a winner in last years 30 Day Challenge and get my flights, one night’s accommodation, and ticket to the conference for free. Boo Yah!
  4. I get to finally meet face to face with the many people I’ve gotten to know in this community. Very excited about this one.
  5. I get to visit Melbourne again. Being originally from Melbourne, it’s always nice to come to town and hang out.
  6. Ed and Frank will be hitting people over the head with all things web 2.0 I’m pretty tech savvy, but you can never know enough.
  7. Networking, networking and networking.

So there you go, nice and straight forward. The weekend will be a blast, I plan on learning heaps, and having as much fun as I possibly can at the same time. God Bless the internet!

Why You Should Visit Australia In December

09 November 2006 Nez 0 Comments

I’m a very excited boy right now! In early December messieurs Ed Dale and Frank Kern are running a conference. And hot damn if this isn’t a great opportunity for all of you Undies out there (you know who you are). Don’t take from me, hear it from the man himslef, Ed Dale:

I just did some checking on expedia – did you know you
could fly out of los angeles on the 28th stay at an amazing melbourne
hotel and leave on the 6th back home for 2400
bucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If your prepared to stay at servicable ,
2 mins from the conference venue non-fancypants place $1950!!!!!!!!!!!

This is insane – You can come to the melbourne conference for FREE
and see John Carlton, Frank Kern and I TEACH for two days as well as
get the Melbourne VIP treatment – including a special dinner hosted by
me

This is going to be a very different conference to San Diego Frank,
John and I are the only speakers, we will be doing behind the scenes of
the mega launches, talking serious turkey about web 2.0, Buying and
selling web sites, hard core copywriting and in an undies first – hot
seats – I know for a fact for a teaching conference in the US with us
at it would cost at least two grand! And you would have travel and
accomadation on top!!!!!

So why not take a tax deduction holiday here and get an incredible
conference to boot and get shown around my home town (and Franks
favourite place in the word outside of La Jolla) – i really had not
thought about this till i just jumped on expedia for kicks

And of course when you see how fantastic and cheap the food is you will go nuts

GET DOWN HERE IN DECEMBER AND MAKE A REAL PARTY OF IT!!!

The $15,000 Challenge

22 August 2006 Nez 0 Comments

Now here’s something you’d be mad to miss out on. Dan Raine is facing a challenge to make 15k in 30 days. He’ll video the whole process for all to see, and the best part is that anyone who signs up to his list gets the chance to win the site at the end of challenge. Very cool!

So go sign up… http://15kchallenge.com/  you everything to gain and nothing to lose. The opportunity to watch over someone’s (and a successful someone I might add) shoulder while they go through the process doesn’t come along every day. Take advantage of what Dan is offering. I know I will.

Curse You Ed Dale!

So yesterday I wrote a post explaining my reasoning for not going to the Undies Conference in San Diego. Pretty straight forward. And then today Ed goes and releases a video about what’s going to happen at the A/V conference. The A/V conference runs for 2 days and is happening straight after the Undies con. Oh man, how cool does this thing sound? I was salivating just listening to him (happens all the time, Ed does have an alluring tone to his voice). The A/V conference sounds like it was tailor made just for me, like Ed and Frank sat down one day and said to each other, “Now, what kind of conference should we make for Nez?”

Don’t go looking for the video unless you’re an Ultra, as so far only Ultras have been told about it. That also means I can’t divulge any info here, as it’s not my show (even it was made just for me). But keep an eye out, it sounds like the coolest thing ever. If you want to get in on the ground floor of the future in marketing on the internet, then this conference looks to be the goods. Just remember the little people (me) that helped you along the way to your millions. Of course, I’ll have millions myself by then, but a little kick back here and there is always welcome.
